Hello! I haven't posted anything in SO LONG! So sorry... life just happens sometimes. But I made something for supper this week that definitely bears posting! I made tacos for supper (I know this isn't anything special), but we all like different kinds of tacos. I like taco salads. My daughter likes hers baked (meat and cheese in the crunchy shells baked until all melty-she tells me they are just like Jack in the Box tacos), and her boyfriend likes soft tacos. We were all happy because I cooked the taco meat and then had all the fixings for however we wanted to assemble them so we all got just what we wanted with very little effort!

A little background on the tortilla bowls, .... I was watching TV the other night and saw one of those crazy commercials that has the fast talking salesman on there, selling this mold for making your own taco salad tortilla bowl. Well, who really needs one of those things? I just took a baking pan, turned an oven-proof bowl upside down on it, sprayed the bowl with cooking spray, and layed a flour tortilla on it! Ta-da! Homemade taco salad tortilla bowl! It wasn't super crunchy like Taco Bell (of course because it wasn't fried), but I'm BIG on healthier, homemade versions anyway so this was PERFECT for me! Yes, it was still VERY CRUNCHY. Just not the exact same as fried. In fact, they were so good that we ate the leftovers the next night the very same way.

Here's how I made Homemade Taco Salads with homemade tortilla bowls AT HOME MY WAY:

About Me

I am mom to two beautiful young ladies, now almost all grown up! I married my high school sweetheart and we couldn't be happier! I love to find ways to do it all myself, whether its making a bar of soap or a biscuit. My kids think I've lost it, but I just like doing it "At Home My Way."
